Hi everyone (esp. the VMC team) -
I'm trying to use the geant3 module in ROOT 4-00-03 but am
having trouble incorporating my own geometry into the examples.
I've already defined a geometry using the TGeoManager class
and saved it to a file. I've then hacked in my geometry into
the E01 example in geant4_vmc, by reading it in from a file
(using TGeoManager::Import), but when i run the example i get
this output:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MZLINK. Initialize Link Area /GCSLNK/ for Store 0 NL/NS= 100 100
Geant3 has been created.
Geometry will be defined via TGeo
===> TGeo, Root geometry manager created
Warning in <TGeoManager::dtor>: deleting previous geometry: TGeo/Root

===> , created
### Geometry loaded from file...
Top volume is TOP. Master volume is TOP
### Voxelization retrieved from file

### 195 nodes/ 18 volume UID's in Simple geometry

Calculating cross section tables, see gphysi.dat for more information
Cross section calculation concluded successfully
**** GTRIGI: IEVENT= 1 IDEVT= 1 Random Seeds = 0
0
root [1]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i.e. it doesn't crash, but nothing happens! this example works fine
in its original form, so it's really just the introduction of my
geometry.
my main suspicion is that i really should be using the TGeoMCGeometry
interface from the beginning, but if i check the source, i see that
the MCGeometry is using the GeoManager anyway.
so my question is if i really have to rewrite my geometry using
the TGeoMCGeometry interface, or if there is a way to "import" an
existing TGeoManager into the TGeoMCGeometry -- or if I am completely
misunderstanding something!
Thanks,
Peter
